T li e (( II I v «» r I !» :i I Mrs. Ruth S. Mace Dean of Women America is slowly emerging from what is probably the most serious economic depression in its history; a depression that has meant curtailment of expenses, close budgeting for every family, the elimination from every day life of many things which during the prosj erous years we considered necessities. While it may be many months lx?fore we can return to our normal living conditions, there are some things neither worldly nor material which a student completing a college course should take away with her. It would seem unnecessary to tell college graduates, particularly after the chaos through which we have been passing, that such qualities as courtesy, unselfishness, thoughtfulness of others, loyalty and devotion to duty can mean more in life than many more material things but we are all so prone to forget these finer things in our eagerness to overcome the problems of the day. We are living in a constantly changing world in which the new deal is stressed and from which many of the traditions of the past have been discarded. These qualities which I have mentioned are old-fashioned but. though new situations confront us on every hand, they should not lx? forgotten and will help to make life more livable and to smooth away many of the rough sj ots on the road along which we must pass.

T li e (( tiivcr 1 » :i « Mr. E. A. Clemaks Vice President It is commonly charged that “our schools have failed.” Because our graduates did not forsee the coining crisis, were overwhelmed by it, and do not see a clear way out. it is assumed that the schools have not given a training for practical living. To whatever degree greed and graft, dishonesty and chicanery, selfishness and shiftlessness are accountable for our misfortunes, to that degree the schools must lie freed from responsibility since these are the very opposites of the principles taught and practized in school rooms. The schools will not fail so long as the teachers have faith that character is their most valuable product. Our schools will succeed to the extent to which the ideals of honesty, integrity, loyalty, cooj eration and service are held before the pupils as the standards for worthwhile living. Page sixteen
